fifteen or less challenge second year!

Damn it

Ok so my cup will only be used as part of my brew kit so it is no longer an item in its own right. This Allows my hip flask entry to the list

Nice try ~ there's a proviso you missed The brew kit's an item ~ it can only be considered a freebie for those not taking nicotine, so the cup's an additional item on top of the brew kit .

... A cup can be cooked in so it's an item ~ it could be argued, if it's sole use is with a caffine brew kit freebie, that it's needed as part of the kit in order to have a brew.

Eating implements will be fabricated on site (hmmm, i might go hungry with my DIY skills)

I think water will be available on site and it will be plentiful :welcome:

So if i take a brew kit freebie i can count my ecig as an item? in fairness im properly addicted to both

The option for the freebie brew is a swap out in place of a freebie nicotine ~ so if your list of 15 includes the ecig, you don't get the caffeine freebie. Like I said, a difficult choice .

Well i read the other thread and it seemed to be listed as free in many of the posts

Well i read the other thread and it seemed to be listed as free in many of the posts

It wasn't mentioned either way in the opening post for last years comp and when asked Sam okayed it. Some then took it as a freebie and some didn't. A pack's status as either an Item or Freebie wasn't mentioned in this thread's opening post either but, so far, we've gone down the route of a pack's an item ~ probably my fault after I made good use of my pack as a makeshift sleeping bag in last years comp and then answered 3333's (aka Beenn) question toward the start of this thread.

Tough call, I think it best to ask Sam for adjudication

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

I think its fair enough that a pack is counted but I do think it harsh that i dont get a free item as i like both coffee and nicotine. I would also argue that my ecig is medication as i dont actually smoke

I've dropped a note to Sam to ask for his input. To be honest I'd forgotten that Sam had basically agreed that packs could / should be considered as freebies in last years comp .

... I would also argue that my ecig is medication as i dont actually smoke

You can have your nicotine hit it as a freebie. Which means that your list of fifteen items is now fourteen . So even if Sam says a pack's countable, it's not a problem .

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Cheers Phil. I hope the pack is free as i can include a proper light source instead of my phone lol

Judging on Saturday's forecast we'll not need lighters, just stick out what you want lit and wait for the lightening to strike

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

[Man of Tanith]

No worries . Until Paul mentioned it, I'd completely forgotten that they could be had as freebies last year ~ which is why I dropped you a line to ask for a call on it .
